Internet Availability in Baton Rouge, LA

When it comes to high-speed internet providers in Baton Rouge, AT&T Fiber and Cox are the two biggest contenders; also, REV offers limited availability throughout the city. Which providers are available to you will depend on where you live. Here’s what you’re likely to find in your neighborhood.

AT&T Fiber offers the city’s fastest fiber internet service to 52.4% of Baton Rouge. Residential areas like Ogden Park, Mid-City, and South Dayton all get great coverage, but not downtown and the Main Street Historic District. Downtown East and Spanish Town have spotty coverage, while the Roseland Terrace Historic District and Monte Vista are pretty well covered.

Cox’s high-speed cable service has the best availability across BR, covering 88.5% of the city. You can get Cox internet throughout downtown and even in farther-out suburbs like Village St. George and Scotlandville.

One more option is REV, which has low availability in Baton Rouge but offers high-speed fiber to homes with coverage. They have patchy availability throughout downtown, Capitol View, and along Government Street. Service gets much better, however, in eastern suburbs like Melrose East, Wooddale East, and Kingsbridge.
